    Great goal, can remember watching it get shown on telly repeatedly, and rightly so.

    Would today’s defenders allow that type of goal today? ....... or would it be more probable with defences pushing out to play someone offside and leaving him through on goal?

    VAR would find some spurious reason to cancel it out.

    Worthington, Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh, Alan Hudson, Glenn Hoddle.
    77 England caps between them and Hoddle got 53 of them.
    Huge pool of underused talent.

    Dammit I sat five minutes knowing there was one I missed! Well done. :)
    17 caps for Currie. Still leaves the lot of them with less than 100.

    Jimmy Greenhoff, the best player not to receive a full cap, whereas his brother Brian who arguably was not as good a player as Jimmy got 18.

    Astounded to read today that Rashford had 40 caps already. Unbelievable. Decent striker but hardly prolific. And how many did WRDCFC get? Too many as far as I am concerned!

    I had the misfortune to spend a couple of hours in Stan Bowles' company once, filming for some doc. Sorry, but what a miserable, self-entitled **** he was. Felt the world owed him a living and as for England, he couldn't have cared less. In answer to the question 'what did it mean to you to be called up for England....to wear that shirt?', he just did a massive yawn and said 'nothing really'.

    I guess part of the reason why some on that list didn't get more caps is because they didn't want it enough. Can't blame it all on the managers.

    Definitely feel today the defender wouldn’t give him as much space to do the keepy uppy. I’m sure he would be hounded from the back more. The opposing coach would be livid that the goal would have been let in.
    There is a paradox in that where there is more gamesmanship in the art of defending nowadays, the defenders in that era weren’t afraid to put some “tackles” in.

    Because that goal was so good - and it was - people always overlook the goal that other Bon Viveur Alan Brazil scored that day. An absolute blinder from the edge of the box.
